I'm sure you'll all agree that Vstep have kept us informed as much as possible, but they are extremely busy getting this patch ready for us all to enjoy Ship Simulator to the full extent

There are most likely very good reasons why the patch was delayed, it may have been a last minute thing and it wasn't possible to inform members of the delay until now. It is unfortunate, but nothing in life is perfect and these things do happen, wouldn't you agree?
At least we do know that the patch is still being developed, I have been involved in situations where developers have abondoned the community completely, we can rest assured that this is not happening in this case

As far as the 'broken game' issue, not all bugs are detectable in development or testing, again it is unfortunate, but sometimes unavoidable also.
